Out in the fields...

Oh what a rainy spring we have had!
Makes it very difficult to get into the fields to start planting our corn, pumpkins, and strawberries! However, we started yesterday working the ground for our strawberry plants that we are planting this spring. We have decided to put our new field behind the standard cherry orchard on the rolling hill. This makes things just slightly more difficult than planting on a flat field however, we are planting on a terrace style, to make sure irrigation and drainage works to keep those new plants healthy.

We are still out in the orchard pruning our peach trees. We had prune all the trees in the orchard, starting in January with the apples, and then cherries. Last but not least is our peach trees. If you have driven by you noticed a week ago we were in full bloom, and now the trees have dropped the blooms and are working to produce that fruit we all love!

Looking forward to seeing all our friends June 1st!
